Grilled Balsamic-Garlic Steak – This is such a quick, easy, delicious and satisfying main dish that you’ll be making it all summer long!
Summer is in full swing! This means that many meals are done on the grill.
I personally love grilled food. If I didn’t live in an apartment, with so little ventilation, I would use my grill throughout the whole year. No kidding.
When we bought this apartment a few years ago, it wasn’t in our minds that we would have small children again. I mean. It was in my mind but not my husband’s. Well … that’s a good topic for another post: How I convinced my husband to have children after 20 years {wink}.
Anyways!
The apartment is cool but the truth is that it is getting a little small for us. The first and most important problem is the kitchen. Oh, God! It’s super small. When I’m doing something in the kitchen I do not like anybody else in there. My current mission is to convince my husband that we really need to buy a house LOL.
Going back to the topic- I love grilled food and not having a large back yard where I can grill some food it is not going to stop me!
Somehow, I have to manage. So I bought a small indoors grill – every time I use it my house smell like Brazilian Rodizio for 25 days, but who cares, right? – and it does a decent job. I also have the Le Creuset Square Skillet Grill.
This past weekend I prepared this delicious steak with balsamic vinegar and garlic. Exquisite! The taste was perfect. The meat was very soft and it nearly melted in our mouth. You can notice how much I like steak, can’t you?
To accompany the meat I prepared some spiralized curly fries with garlic, corn with herb butter and cheese, cranberries barbecue sauce, and of course, I couldn’t forget the cilantro mojo. As a dessert: churro bites with chocolate. Yeah … all of that was cooked in my tiny kitchen! Can you imagine what I could do if I had a kitchen of my dreams?
